    Integration

    I have chicks that hatched 4/22, so they are almost 6 weeks old. I just acquired 2 two week old chicks. Should I keep the older girls indoors a little longer and integrate these two groups together before integrating with my older hens outside?

    New ducklings arrived from McMurray on Wed. We're feeding them Dumour 22% protein with niacin duck crumbles. Should I be adding additional niacin to their diet at this point?

    Can someone help me with identifying this bunny's gender?

    Bunny sold to us as male and we have "him" with 2 other males. Can anyone confirm the gender for us? I'm not very experienced with this, but my hunch is female.

    Hi everyone. We are getting ready to build our wooden a frame for our ducklings who will be arriving soon. I was wondering, has anyone had success using a large metal shed as a duck shelter?

    Is an all female flock ok?

    We are first time duck owners, anxiously awaiting our ducklings from McMurray Hatchery this May. I've done a lot of research, and settled on an all female flock (11 ducks, different breeds). Has anyone else had a flock this large with no drake? Should we add a drake or 2? And if so, what breed...
